    Peace



    Peace

    Is not an arrow or an olive branch,

    for an arrow is affixed in rage

    and the olive branch can be consumed by the flames of its owners.



    Peace

    is not a dove,

    for the dove lives not forever,

    growing weak with age

    and short in flight.



    Peace

    Is the uncompromising

    joy of a rainstorm,

    Favoring nobody and passing none.



    Peace

    Is the wisdom of the mountain,

    Obeying the commands of Eternity,

    Yet not crumbling into the sea.

    Just

    As the mountain steadily yearns towards the sky,

    And the rain cloud gradually soothes the aching land,

    So too, shall Peace emerge.

    I don't usually go for the peace thing...in my own writing or in others'. But I gotta say, man, you are really talented. This made me wanna cry for some reason. Love the part with the rainstorm. Love it.

    hi there...

    i love this piece,the over all view was very lovely and
    beautiful like nature...which is so mindblowing so huge
    it should be given peace.....
    yet to me you forgot how the human can be peaceful
    if allowed, if given freedom to live, to learn, to grow.
    and not kept down by divide of class..or differences.
    to understand the world the rain you speak of .
    the seas the mountain ,most of all the human needs for
    peace, this is within reach if we have freedom.
    then the peace will follow, peace of mind, peace of heart and peace to live the human life we all deserve...
    not just the few who can afford it ..
    life is peaceful when we view the earth,yet look
    closer it cries,with every war with every death
    from misunderstandings.so to me peace will
    follow freedom..the freedom to be human what ever..


    keep writing, it makes me question..all...
    lovenpeace from saff
